"Most of you won't be successful because when you're tired, you QUIT" "Sleep is for those people who are BROKE" "ALL Men are created equal but some work harder in the pre-season" #TRUTH: Not sure why, but I get fired up when I hear peeps TALK about wanting success yet they just don't DO shit to get there! If you're a Strength Coach lacking business success or you're simply NOT where you want to be, then you gotta DO something about, stop complaining, whining and crying and start DOing.... … [Read more...]
Monday Motivation – Arnold’s 6 Secrets to Success
It's NOT Monday but f**k it, success waits for NO man and I don't wanna wait till Monday to unleash the motivation! Besides, this is a critical video I wanted to share it pronto, Ryan Riess, a kick ass Underground Strength Coach in Washington shared it with me. I used to watch Pumping Iron on VHS over and over and over..... not sure how that VHS tape survived! I used to keep taking out 'The Education of a Bodybuilder' in high school, sophomore year - senior year, over and over and OVER again. … [Read more...]
THE Underground Strength Gym – What REALLY Happened?
Soooo.... what REALLY goes down at The Underground Strength Gym? I am often asked.... I am a lucky guy, I won't deny it. I LOVE what I do and love it even more when I'm sweating bullets and my hands are covered in rust from old plates and dirt from 450 & 600 lb tractor tires. As they say though, successful people make their own luck, but what is often forgotten is how they learned what they now know..... … [Read more...]
Hurricane Irene Bodyweight Workout
Above, Dennis Tinnerino.... old school bodybuilding, olympic lifting and bodyweight workouts. Put em' all together and you've got yourself a BEAST Well, I think that Hurricane Irene has passed through Manasquan, NJ now. Yesterday I cranked a bodyweight workout IN my garage and it was awesome. I use simple equipment in my garage: Barbell, Squat Rack, Wooden Rings, Climbing Rope and some Kettlebells (I have them at The Underground Strength Gym AND my garage at home) and that's ALL I needed for … [Read more...]
The TRUTH About Bodyweight Workouts
Franco Columbu was a BEAST when it came to pull ups. He cranked them from all angles AND added weight to them as well. High reps AND low reps. Reminds me of my OLD Bodybuilding training partner.... We almost always began our workouts with chins and progressed to weighted chins. He would build up to chin ups with THREE 45 lb plates strapped to a weight belt. His back was THICK! It freaked people out! Heavy Chins and HEAVY barbell rows were his ticket. Back to the legend of Franco … [Read more...]
Agile, Mobile and Hostile
Your Mission: Agile, Mobile & Hostile.... The REAL Men HAD it back in the day, The Golden Era & Old School times... Why were the Agile, Mobile & Hostile? How did they achieve the ultimate in performance AND appearance? Their approach was simple yet challenging.... They concentrated on a blend of strength, muscle building, raw power and athleticism. It wasn't enough to be able to squat, bench or deadlift heavy. NO, Sir, these men blended gymnastics, strongman training, feats of … [Read more...]
Lessons From Golden Era Bodyweight Bodybuilding Workouts & Marvin Eder
This post was inspired from my time spent reading the old books of bodybuilding where the greats from the 50s, 60s and 70s spoke often about all the high rep bodyweight training they did. Hundreds of sit ups and crunches every training session. 100 Pull Ups on back day / back workouts. 100 Push Ups for the warm up. These men from back in the day had physiques that were carved from stone. They had what many call today as "functional strength". Many of these men worked manual labor jobs by … [Read more...]
Bodyweight Workout For Size & Strength Using The “Ladder Technique”
I've spoken often about using the "ladder technique" with my Bodyweight Bodybuilding training course, but also with Kettlebell Workouts and sometimes with deadlifts as well and had great success. The ladder technique is a powerful way to increase your strength, pack on muscle and if used with an aggressive pace, you will also improve cardio and stimulate fat loss. Here's how I train when using ladders with bodyweight exercises: … [Read more...]
2 Things Every Man Should Do
As much as I LOVE bodyweight training I still use the deadlift and the squat in some form of another with added weight. When I bail on deadlifts and squats my legs get WEAK, and as a man, I have NO room for weakness. The squats and deads help me run faster and jump higher. Running is NOT my forte so anything that helps with my runs is a plus in my book. Even if you don't squat or deadlift till your eye balls pop out of your head, that's fine, the main thing is that you do "The Thing". In Pavel's … [Read more...]
Hunting for a Playground Workout – The End?
I got LUCKY. I Found myself a GREAT playground, still in need of finding pull up bars and dip bars that are up HIGH so my feet don't drag on the ground. I've seen these "advanced playgrounds" in videos outside of the states & in the suburbs of NYC, but I fear there is a conspiracy to keep people weak by removing playgrounds all around the country. We filmed a TON of footage at this playground for the new Bodyweight Training Course. Now, although I've been cranking LOTS of bodyweight … [Read more...]
